If your sewer or drain line is found to be cracked or crushed, we have the ability to electronically locate the exact spot for plumbing repair. Electronic locating can minimize damage to your home or lawn by telling us where to dig. In most cases there is no need to dig, the sewer or clogged drain cleaning issue is usually a matter of hair, soap scum or organic build up. In some cases the roots from your trees may have gotten into your sewer or drain. Can your trees break the sewer lines in your yard? Usually no, trees large enough to lift up sections of your driveway may have the size to crack a sewer line. After digging up countless sewer and drain breakages, I can say the roots growing inside many sewer lines are caused by age, poor workmanship or foreign objects puncturing the pipe. Once the pipe has been cracked, it leaks, then the roots come for the water.
Experiencing a sewer or clogged drain cleaning back up in Naples,Ft. Myers,Estero,Bonita Springs and San Carlos Park can be frustrating, many of us take the sewer lines under our homes for granted.
